Don't know but if its hot-off-the-press, remember that Etch isn't. By
the time Stable becomes Stable (as Etch did a year ago), it doesn't take
long before bleeding edge hardware requries a newer kernel.
Therefore, you may find that the Etch installer doesn't detect
everything and you'll need either Lenny or Sid.
Suggestion: burn the netinst.iso for Etch and try booting it on the box.
Go to a shell and look at the dmesg and check syslog for errors.
